That inPhamous post

Amidst the recent flurry of emotion and controversy at Wellesley, I intercepted the following e-mail from the Honor Code Council and the Wellesley administration, sent to a certain special somone.* (For those of you who don't go to Wellesley, or would just like to read a nice summary of the whole situation, see here -- it's funny, concise, and contains direct quotes.)

"Dear Jeremy Pham:

It has come to our attention that you have written an expletive-laden commentary displaying sincere disrespect for the members of our community and women at large. We are disappointed that you hold such opinions and at the way in which you chose to express them. Wellesley College has a long and proud history of feminism and women’s solidarity. As such, we cannot simply ignore your actions. Obviously, recourse is necessary, and we have debated long and hard about an appropriate punishment for you.

Hence, please put a dick in your mouth straightaway. If you cannot find such an appendage (we know it's hard on this campus), we can provide one or link you up with someone who can. You have until Tuesday, December 1, 2009 to complete your punishment. Please fill out the attached form and have the possessor of your mouth-dick sign it.

Sincerely,
The Powers That Be"


*This is a lie.
